Introducing Pak Bara
The coast northeast of Satun has a few small towns that serve as jumping-off points for the islands in the Mu Ko Phetra and Ko Tarutao Marine National Parks, but the small fishing community of Pak Bara is the main transit point. Tourist facilities are slowly improving as Pak Bara becomes increasingly busy with travellers discovering these dazzling isles in the south Andaman. The peaceful town has some decent sleeping options and great seafood and is even turning into a popular place to hang out for a while.

The main road from La-Ngu terminates at the pier where there are several travel agencies, internet cafés, cheap restaurants and shops selling beach gear. There’s a visitors centre (0 7478 3485) for Ko Tarutao National Park just back from the pier, where you can book accommodation and obtain permission for camping. Travel agencies here can arrange tours to the islands in the national park.
